Behind the Locked Door

Whats behind the locked door at the Department of Mysteries?

I feel what they study behind the locked door at the Department of Mysteries 
(Dumbledore states pg.843 Oop it is more wonderful and terrible than 
death) is a persons Will to

If you think about the will of a person who has been sick with cancer and 
the doctors are dumb founded as to how that person miraculously is cured or 
the woman who could have picked up a car that had fallen on someone. What 
gave that person the power to heal them selves or to pick up something 
that the physical mind deems unrealistic but the Will to do it?

If you are a good person with a strong will, you can use that will to make 
wonderful things happen. In the same respect a person with an ambitious 
and controlling mind could use his will to make terrible things happen. 
Like with the Mirror of Erased, Dumbledore also described it in much the 
same way as the locked door in the Ministry: pg.298 SS it is a beautiful 
and terrible thing. Voldemort saw what he wanted but could not will the 
object from the mirror because it was protected by Dumbledore to only let 
someone with (a good will) good intentions actually obtain what they saw.

This brings me to Harrys will. Harry could be a metamorphmagus by 
changing his appearance (by growing back his hair over night in SS) or he 
just felt so strongly that he willed it to happen. Harry could have 
(unlikely) apparated when Dudleys gang was after him and he found himself 
on the rooftop or he could have willed it to happen. Harry could have cast 
a shield charm during the occlumency lesson with Snape or he could have not 
wanted Snape to see him and Cho so badly that he willed it not to happen. 
When Harry walked into the circular room and said, pg.809 Oop wheres the 
exitwheres the way out he willed it to happen. Mind over matter.

Harry doesnt have control yet, over these emotions that cause him to make 
situations happen. Like the instance with Aunt Marge, Harry doesnt 
concentrate on blowing her up, but his emotion or will to hurt her did 
take over. Harry hasnt recognized the power of mind that he has. Harry 
hasnt connected the fact that (in the graveyard) he concentrated with all 
his might to move the gold bead towards Voldemorts wand. Harry didnt 
understand why he was doing it, or what was going to happen but his will 
and concentration came together to over power Voldemort.

This will of the mind leads to my finale conclusion, which is a bit hazy 
at best, but it fits the above scenario. Why did Harry and Voldemort both 
live that night in Godrics Hollow? Ive made the analogy to it in this way: 
Its like having conjoined twins, only this is not physical but mentally 
conjoined. A lot of times when you have physically conjoined twins that 
share a common organ, you may have to sacrifice one to save the other. Harry 
and Voldemort share one common organ, the mind. They need to be separated to 
live, which means one has to die. This is what I feel the prophecy is saying 
that neither can live while the other survives. When Voldemort attempted to 
kill Harry (the hazy part) their minds intertwined. The curse rebounded but 
could not kill Voldemort because of the steps he took to make himself 
immortal (Voldemorts graveyard speech to the death eaters). The curse 
actually, IMO, must have connected Voldemort and Harrys minds. We can see 
how Harry has acquired some of Voldemorts traits (as Dumbledore put it in 
CoS pg.333) he transferred some of his powersnot something he intended to 
do but we have yet to see how Voldemort has acquired any of Harrys. There 
is one example during the graveyard scene, when Voldemort is reminiscing to 
Harry about his parents, where he says that he is becoming quite 
sentimental. This would be the only thing I have seen where Voldemort 
portraits traits that are unlikely his own. Harry has qualities that would 
make him a good Slytherin candidate (which shows that Harry did indeed 
receive some part of Voldemort) but also retains the qualities born in him 
that are a true Gryffindore. The finale duel must be a Battle of the 
Mind. Finale: Slytherin dueling with Gryffindore or should I say the 
Phoenix and the Snake? (Snappy title for the last book, dont you think?)

Please feel free to attack, dismember, or other wise mutilate the above 
suggestion.
